It's been a year since the death of Ben Solo and General Organa, and no one has been the same since, especially Rey...

I've only been with the resistance "professionally" for about 3 months and the only friends I have are Poe and Finn, I guess they consider me as "one of the guys".

Poe is a very good friend of mine though, perhaps I even consider him as my best friend.

He always looks out for me in the best of ways, he even takes care of me when I'm sick which is wonderful.

We even have nicknames for each other, his is "P.D" which is short for "Poe Dameron" of course, and he calls me "Cece" in which case is short for "Carson".

We've been through a lot together, even in such a short amount of time. Especially now, he helps me through the weird experiences I've been having... I hear voices, whispers, they are ever so faint but so loud at the same time that I can't ignore them.

Finn understands fully how I feel, he believes I am force sensitive like him, we usually talk about it over drinks at the bar on Ajan-Kloss where the resistances has moved to.

The whispers are very hard to explain, it sounds like it's calling me.. but I cannot understand what they're saying. They are loud but quiet whispers. And I cannot ignore them, they are always talking in the back of my head. And as far as I know, I could be related to a jedi or sith.

"Cmon, we need to go slowpoke" Poe says whilst waiting out my door for me.

"Sorry I'm not a guy and I don't get ready as fast as you do" I say sarcastically.

Poe and I train together a lot, we do target practice, 1 on 1 fighting, we do pretty much everything together.

We head down to the hike trail a couple of minutes later and we start walking the trail.

"How has your morning been?" He asked.

"Lonely, as per usual... what about you?" I ask.

"Lonely, boring, same old crap." He shrugged.

A little while later I get this weird feeling, like my heart sank to the pit of my stomach. I stop walking.

Poe stops walking as well and looks at me deeply, "What's wrong? Is it the whispers again?" He puts his gentle hands on my shoulders trying to comfort me.

I look at him looking at me with that deep and caring stare, "We need to go back... now."

Without a question, Poe grabs my hand and we quickly walk back the way we came.

And suddenly we see shots being fired towards us. We run, I look back and see that it is the first order.. what do they want? What would they want from us now? We were safe from them for so long.

As we're running through the rain fire of laser bolts, a laser bolt hits me in the leg. I collapse to the ground and I can't run. Poe quickly rushes to me and picks me up in a cradled position and proceeds to run.

We make it back to the base and we run to the transports. Finn runs up to us heading to the transports and asks "What the hell are you guys doing?!" Poe says as he's catching his breath, "We're being attacked by the first order... get everyone on transport.. right now!" As Poe sets me on a small booth to wait for a doctor, Finn runs off and spreads the word to leave the planet.

About 10 minutes pass and we're fighting off the first order from killing us all. And finally we are able to leave.

I'm laying down on the small booth, in severe pain, bleeding out of my right thigh. Finally a doctor approaches and starts to take care of me.

"She will be fine." The doctor said with his calming voice.

I see Poe sit down next to me before I black out from blood loss and pain.

I start to wake up, and I notice I'm in a different environment.. the lights are brighter, the bed is softer, but Poe is still by my side.

Adjusting my eyes to the light, I look over at poe and ask, "What happened?"

Relieved I'm awake, he says, "you're ok, the doctor said you can be on your feet in a few days, you'll just still be limping."

I nod subtly. "How long was I asleep?" I asked.

"Since yesterday, as we left the planet."

"Do we know what the first order wants with us? There's nothing here for them to take."

Poe looks down, then looks at me with a sad expression, "I think they might be after you cece... especially with the possibility of you being force sensitive, they somehow tracked you and tried to take you."

I was speechless... I didnt know what to say. I've never been wanted by the first order before.

"Why would they want me...? Don't they have enough?" I replied.

"As far as we know.. they don't have a 'leader', they need anyone that is strong enough to lead an empire, and somehow they found you."

"With what orders? They have no one to tell them what to do, so how did they find me?"

"We don't know yet... just get some rest and regain your strength, we need you, you're our strongest fighter we have."

"Yeah I've heard that one before.. and I know I'm not the first one you've said that to."

"I mean it."

Poe walks off and the doors shut behind him.

A few days pass since our evacuation from the first order raid. I'm finally able to get up and out of bed, but I have to walk with a cane for support for a little while.. I'm just glad I'm not stuck in that ratty old hospital bed.

I head over to the door to walk out of the med bay, but it wont open.. "that's odd.." I think to myself. "Why would a hospital door be closed?". Suddenly the door slides open, Poe is standing there.

"Want to tell me where we are and what's really going on?" I asked Poe.

We start to slowly walk around the area.

"We managed to escape Alan-Kloss, barely, we are currently on a planet called 'Takodana'. A good friend of ours lives here and she was willing to help when we all showed up on such short notice. The doctor ran some tests on your blood and noticed something off about your blood. He will not tell me nor anyone until it is confirmed.. but for now we need to keep you safe and protected" Poe explained.

"How can you say that so calmly?" I exclaimed.

"How can you just tell me that we had to move planets because the first order is looking for a new leader and tell me that my blood is whack and not even shed a tear? Or scream or shout?" I asked firmly.

"We've moved planets a lot before.. I guess I'm just used to it by now." He replied.

We stop at another door. The door slides open, revealing beautiful terrains, huge green trees, clear water, and a castle-like building across the way. It was stunning and I didn't want to take my eyes off of the view.

Poe's staring at me looking around at the view, like he's admiring my expression.

"I wish you wouldn't stare." I told poe.

"How can I not?" He asked honestly.

I laugh a little bit and push him jokingly.

We start to walk down the pathway leading to the castle. Everything is breathtaking, the grass, the trees, even the rocks. I admire everything as much as I can because I may not get another moment like this ever again.

"How's the leg?" He asked.

"Hurts, but manageable. How's your eyesight? Because I think you were looking at me for too long like your eyes were trying to focus." I replied.

"My eyesight is perfectly fine."

"Then why look at me?"

Poe didn't answer the question, he chuckled slightly and stayed in silence.

"So who's this 'friend' that decided to let us stay here?" I asked poe.

"Maz Kanata, she is with the resistance but she's been here after everything went downhill with Ben Solo... Leia..."

He got choked up saying General Organas name, he's never really mentioned General Organa, maybe because she was like family to him..

"When will you tell me what really happened with them? Because it seemed to have affected everyone, and not just the resistance." I told him.

"When I'm ready to talk about it." He stated.

A few miles of walking later, we finally made it to Maz's castle. We walk inside, it is packed with people, creatures, you name it. They were all loud and drunk off their minds. We finally see Maz just across the room, we make our way over to her and she approaches us as well.

Maz looks up at me with her large glass monocles staring into my eyes, "Glad to see you're finally up. We have been waiting.. Desperately."

"Desperate? That's a new one." I thought to myself. "Mhm, what can you tell me about the raid from the first order?"

"I only know as much as everyone else does... but I do believe Poe's theory about you, which leads to my theory.."

"Then tell us." I exclaimed.

"It'd be better if it was just the two of us.." Maz gestured Poe to leave so we could talk privately.

She gestured me to follow her so she could talk to me. We walk over to an empty booth, it's quiet, there people around but they aren't paying attention to anyone but themselves.

We both sit down, I sit across from her.

"I think Poe'a theory is true... it's possible they are looking for a new supreme leader. And it's possible that they want you... and there are still holocrons out there, sith and jedi holocrons... and it is also possible that they have found one and they somehow unlocked it and found you.. there could be a force-sensitive that is on the dark side that opened the holocron Carson... you have to be careful when facing them. Especially with an incident like this." She stated.

Yes it is possible that I am force-sensitive, but who could've found a holocron and opened it? Only jedi or sith can open holocrons. None of this makes sense in my mind just yet.. I need to think.
